    Time Marches on
    By Tracy Lawrence



    Sister cries out from her baby bed
    Brother runs in with feathers on his head
    Momma's in a room learnin' how to sew
    Daddy's drinkin' beer listnen' to the radio
    Hank Williams sings "Kaw-Liga" and "Dear John"
    Time marches on, Time marches on

    Sister's wearin' rouge and clear complexion soap
    Brother's wearin' beads and he smokes a lot of dope
    Momma is depressed, barly makes a sound
    Daddy's got a girlfriend in another town
    Bob Dillon sings "Like a Rollin' Stone"
    and time marches on, time marches on

    The north move south, the south moves north
    A star is born……a star burns out
    The only thing that stays the same is
    Everything changes, everything changes

    Sister calls herself "sexy grandma"
    Brother's on a diet for high cholesterol
    Momma's out of touch with reality
    Daddy' in the ground beneath the maple tree
    While the angels sing an old Hank Williams song
    Time marches on, time marches on
    Time marches on, time marches on
    Time marches on,
    time marches on (Spoken)

    • And Finally

      Sometimes I can be a cold bastard to some people. But I'll admit there were a few tears trying to come out when I first heard this song.

      Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning)
      By Alan Jackson



      Where were you when the world stop turning on that September day
      Were you in the yard with your wife and children
      Or working on some stage in L.A.
      Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke
      Rising against that blue sky
      Did you shout out in anger, in fear for your neighbor
      Or did you just sit down and cry

      Did you weep for the children who lost their dear loved ones
      And pray for the ones who don't know
      Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble
      And sob for the ones left below
      Did you burst out in pride for the red, white and blue
      And the heroes who died just doin' what they do
      Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer
      And look at yourself and what really matters

      Chorus:
      I'm just a singer of simple songs
      I'm not a real political man
      I watch CNN but I'm not sure I could
      Tell you the difference in Iraq and Iran
      But I know Jesus and I talk to God
      And I remember this from when I was young
      Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us
      And the greatest is love

      Verse:
      Where were you when the world stop turning on that September day
      Teaching a class full of innocent children
      Or driving down some cold interstate
      Did you feel guilty 'cause you're a survivor
      In a crowded room did you feel alone
      Did you call up your mother and tell her you loved her
      Did you dust off that Bible at home

      Did you open your eyes, hope it never happened
      And you close your eyes and not go to sleep
      Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages
      Or speak to some stranger on the street
      Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow
      Go out and buy you a gun
      Did you turn off that violent old movie you're watchin'
      And turn on "I Love Lucy" reruns

      Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers
      Stand in line and give your own blood
      Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family
      Thank God you had somebody to love

      I'm just a singer of simple songs
      I'm not a real political man
      I watch CNN but I'm not sure I could
      Tell you the difference in Iraq and Iran
      But I know Jesus and I talk to God
      And I remember this from when I was young
      Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us
      And the greatest is love
      Which side are we on? We're on the side of the demons, Chief. We are evil men in the gardens of paradise, sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction wherever we go. I'm surprised you didn't know that. --Saul Tigh

      • Fade Into You

        MAZZY STAR

        I want to hold the hand inside you
        I want to take a breath that's true
        I look to you and I see nothing
        I look to you to see the truth
        You live your life
        You go in shadows
        You'll come apart and you'll go black
        Some kind of night into your darkness
        Colors your eyes with what's not there.

        Fade into you
        Strange you never knew
        Fade into you
        I think it's strange you never knew

        A stranger's light comes on slowly
        A stranger's heart without a home
        You put your hands into your head
        And then smiles cover your heart

        Fade into you
        Strange you never knew
        Fade into you

        I think it's strange you never knew

        I think it's strange you never knew

          • Fool's Gold

            STONE ROSES

            The gold road's sure a long road
            Winds on through the hills for fifteen days
            The pack on my back is aching
            The straps seem to cut me like a knife
            The gold road's sure a long road
            Winds on through the hills for fifteen days
            The pack on my back is aching
            The straps seem to cut me like a knife

            I'm no clown I won't back down
            I don't need you to tell me what's going down
            Down down down down da down down down
            Down down down down da down down down

            I'm standing alone
            I'm watching you all
            I'm seeing you sinking
            I'm standing alone
            You're weighing the gold
            I'm watching you sinking
            Fool's gold

            These boots were made for walking
            The Marquis de Sade don't wear no boots like these
            Gold's just around the corner
            Breakdown's coming up round the bend

            Sometimes you have to try to get along dear
            I know the truth and I know what you're thinking

            Down down down down da down down down

            I'm standing alone
            I'm watching you all
            I'm seeing you sinking
            I'm standing alone
            You're weighing the gold
            I'm watching you sinking
            Fool's gold

            Fool's gold

            I'm standing alone
            I'm watching you all
            I'm seeing you sinking
            I'm standing alone
            You're weighing the gold
            I'm watching you sinking
            Fool's gold

                Support System

                I don't need a support system
                Lifting me into prop position
                What I need is a man of action
                I need my attraction to you
                Driving me down all those dangerous avenues
                Lions and tigers tearing at their food
                I know the gossip flies around at breakfast
                One of them reins is in your hand
                Where do you get the **** off thinking I was there at the party
                'Cause all my friends feed me the evil reasons
                Why you and I should not be friends?
                Lets think this whole thing through
                Tell me, just what the hell is a lover suppossed to do?
                I got the wrong reaction, a slap in the face from you
                This is such a stupid picture
                Wrap me in a steak
                Why don't you throw me in the panther cage
                And maybe then I'll like you better
                (No way!)
                I don't need a support system
                Lifting me into prop position
                What they make is a separation of beauty from attitude
                What satisfaction is left when all you do
                Tells everyone you're acting untrue?
                This is such a stupid picture
                Light a cigarette
                Why don't you stub it in the carborateur
                And maybe then you'll sell me something
                (No way!)
                I don't need a supprt system
                Put your hand on my heart and listen
                What I need is a dedication to last me all the way through
                Pointing the finger, I'm counting on loving you
                Over and above the passion
                I'm connected to you



                X-Ray Man

                (What I sense...)
                As far as I know, baby, you can see
                As far as I go, funky baby, digging deep inside of me
                (Uh uh uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh...)
                As far as I know, sister, I'm alright
                As far as I know, funky lady, I'm coming home tonight
                (You can see through the smoke...)
                You're an x-ray man
                You've got x-ray eyes
                This is no reflection on you, its just what I see inside of me
                (Why don't you put on your two-way sombrero and leave?)
                (Uh uh uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh...)
                You're an x-ray man
                You've got white wall tires
                Iodine tan
                Cheap, unpleasant desires
                You're an x-ray man
                You've got an x-rated mind
                You're not satisfied looking at me
                You're always checking out the girl behind
                You're an x-ray man
                You've got secret plans for me


                Whip-smart

                I'm gonna tell my son to grow up pretty as the grass is green and
                Whip-smart as the English Channel's wide.
                And I'm gonna tell my son to keep his money in his mattress
                And his watch on any hand between his thighs.
                And I'm gonna lock my son up in a tower 'til I write my whole life story
                On the back of his big brown eyes.
                When they do the double dutch, that's them dancing. (x 4)
                And I'm gonna tell my son to join a circus so that death is cheap and
                Games are just another way of life.
                And I'm gonna tell my son to be a prophet of mistakes because for
                Every truth, there are half a million lies.
                And I'm gonna lock my son up in a tower
                'Til he learns to let his hair down far enough to climb outside.
                When they do the double dutch, that's them dancing. (x 4)

                  Anything For Your Love
                  eric clapton

                  God's got a plan, he's making it clear
                  Sweet little love song in your ear
                  Like hearts made of diamond, love will prevail
                  Put a little wind in your sail

                  I'd do anything, anything you can dream of
                  I'd do anything, anything for your love
                  For your love
                  For your love

                  Listen now baby, I'll tell you true
                  Just how much that I love you
                  I got a sweet feelin' I know is real
                  This kind of love you can't conceal

                  Change The World

                  If I can reach the stars,
                  Pull one down for you,
                  Shine it on my heart
                  So you could see the truth:
                  That this love I have inside
                  Is everything it seems.
                  But for now I find
                  It's only in my dreams.

                  And I can change the world,
                  I will be the sunlight in your universe.
                  You would think my love was really something good,
                  Baby if I could change the world.

                  And if I could be king,
                  Even for a day,
                  I'd take you as my queen;
                  I'd have it no other way.
                  And our love would rule
                  This kingdom we had made.
                  Till then I'd be a fool,
                  Wishing for the day...

                  That I can change the world,
                  I would be the sunlight in your universe.
                  You would think my love was really something good,
                  Baby if I could change the world.
                  Baby if I could change the world.

                  I could change the world,
                  I would be the sunlight in your universe.
                  You would think my love was really something good,
                  Baby if I could change the world.
                  Baby if I could change the world.

                  • Stuck In The Middle With You - Stealer's Wheel

                    Well, I don't know why I came here tonight
                    I got a feelin' that something ain't right
                    I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
                    And I'm wonderin' how I'll get down those stairs
                    Clowns to left of me, jokers to the right
                    Here am I stuck in the middle with you

                    Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you
                    And I'm wonderin' what it is I should do
                    It's so hard to keep this smile from my face
                    Losin' control, I'm all over the place
                    Clowns to left of me, jokers to the right
                    Here am I stuck in the middle with you

                    Well, you started off with nothing
                    And you're proud that you're a self-made man
                    And your friends they all come crawling
                    Slap you on the back and say
                    Please, please

                    Well, I'm stuck in the middle with you
                    And I'm wonderin' what it is I should do
                    Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor?
                    I don't think that I can take it anymore
                    Clowns to left of me, jokers to the right
                    Here am I stuck in the middle with you

                    [break]

                    Well, you started off with nothing
                    And you're proud that you're a self-made man
                    And your friends they all come crawling
                    Slap you on the back and say
                    Please, please

                    Well, I don't know why I came here tonight
                    I got a feelin' that something ain't right
                    I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
                    And I'm wonderin' how I'll get down those stairs
                    Clowns to left of me, jokers to the right
                    Here am I stuck in the middle with you
                    Here I am stuck in the middle with you
                    Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you
                    Stuck in the middle with you

                    • Heaven Is A Place On Earth - Belinda Carlisle

                      When the night falls down
                      I wait for you
                      And you come around
                      And the world's alive
                      With the sound of kids
                      On the street outside

                      When you walk into the room
                      You pull me close and we start to move
                      And we're spinning with the stars above
                      And you lift me up in a wave of love

                      Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth?
                      Ooh heaven is a place on earth
                      They say in heaven love comes first
                      We'll make heaven a place on earth
                      Ooh heaven is a place on earth

                      When I feel alone
                      I reach for you
                      And you bring me home
                      When I'm lost at sea
                      I hear your voice
                      And it carries me

                      In this world we're just beginning
                      To understand the miracle of living
                      Baby I was afraid before
                      But I'm not afraid anymore

                      Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth?
                      Ooh heaven is a place on earth
                      They say in heaven love comes first
                      We'll make heaven a place on earth
                      Ooh heaven is a place on earth

                      • The Corrs - Secret Life

                        From red giant to supernova, and back to you and me
                        A cloaked entity within a virtual reality
                        Mechanised and organised, to me it's plain to see
                        The hand that's playing busy, weaving fantasy
                        It's so hard to understand, and often we are blind
                        But if truth were an ocean would it fit in the pool of a human mind

                        You're all alone, and it doesn't seem quite fair
                        Why we're all left in ignorance, turning to despair
                        Philosophy and theology offer us a glimpse
                        At something more incredible (incredible)
                        Than you and I

                        (Chorus)
                        So call on the secret life
                        Call on the secret life
                        Show me the way of life
                        Bring on the secret life

                        Evangelists, scientologists, and others I won't mention
                        Offer lessons in codology to all with good intentions (intentions)
                        Listen at your peril, put your soul in detention
                        Rensensitise yourself to this incredible dimension

                        When you're all alone, and it doesn't seem quite fair
                        Why we're all left in ignorance, turning to despair
                        Philosophy and theology offer us a glimpse
                        At something more incredible (incredible)
                        Than you and I

                        (Chorus)

                        I think, therefore I am
                        I think, therefore I am

                        And you're all alone, and it doesn't seem quite fair
                        Why we're all left in ignorance, turning to despair
                        Philosophy and theology offer us a glimpse
                        At something more incredible (incredible)

                        (Chorus)

                        So call on the secret life (turning to despair)
                        Call on the secret life (turning to despair)
                        Show me the way of life (turning to despair)
                        Bring on the secret life (turning to despair)

                            • Hurt by nin

                              i hurt myself today
                              to see if i still feel
                              i focus on the pain
                              the only thing that's real
                              the needle tears a hole
                              the old familiar sting
                              try to kill it all away
                              but i remember everything

                              What have i become?
                              My sweetest friend
                              Everyone i know
                              Goes away in the end

                              you could have it all
                              my empire of dirt
                              i will let you down
                              i will make you hurt

                              i wear this crown of ****
                              upon my liar's chair
                              full of broken thoughts
                              i cannot repair
                              beneath the stains of time
                              the feelings disappear
                              you are someone else
                              i am still right here

                              what have i become?
                              my sweetest friend
                              everyone i know
                              goes away in the end
                              you could call have it all
                              my empire of dirt
                              i will let you down
                              i will make you hurt
                              if i could start again
                              a million miles away
                              i would keep myself
                              i would find a way

                                if you're building me up to be the target for your cheap shots
                                i'm playing games keep a blind eye on the main chance
                                strip my body of its skin and try to cancel out the white trash

                                And maybe then you wouldn't get so sick of me
                                And maybe then you wouldn't get so sick of me
                                And maybe then you wouldn't get so sick of me
                                And maybe then you wouldn't get so sick of me

                                i'm playing games if your aim is for the quick fix
                                cos I know what you wanted and i know how you got it
                                i'm playing games if you play i'm in the fast lane
                                learn to jump into the road and learn to save a little lost face

                                And maybe then you wouldn't get so sick of me
                                And maybe then you wouldn't get so sick of me
                                And maybe then you wouldn't get so sick of me
                                And maybe then you wouldn't get so sick of me
